DavidR -
Thanks for sticking with me.

I made the changes as you explained them to my OE accounts in Hotmail and Yahoo, removing “This server requires a secure connection” for both Outgoing SMTP and Incoming POP3. I sent some test e-mail in and out of them and everything now shows the outgoing messages and the incoming messages have been scanned by Avast.

Does this mean that none of my email is now encrypted and I have lowered my security? I realize that in the vast sea of e-mail, mine is but a drop, nevertheless, I would like my e-mail to be as secure as possible. (A Nigerian prince may need my assistance with his millions any day.) :wink:
